Hi Steffen,

if the goal is to blog, we should switch to a specialized Software (e.g.
wordpress, which can be easily integrated with sso).

I would maintain the blog software (wordpress or TYPO3), if there is
enough interest in it.

If we use TYPO3 we should use EXT:news, using wordpress we have to
decide, wether we use different blogs, or a big one with different
userasignable categories.

Regards
Kay
